Ey
/Sounds like "AY" (as in "say")/
A Chicano and Mexican informal affirmation that works like "yes," "yeah," or "that's right." It's a natural phonetic contraction of the approving "eh," and it's used in quick responses to questions where you don't need to elaborate. "Vamos?" "Ey." "Todo bien?" "Ey." It sounds casual, relaxed, and not particularly interested in explaining. It marks trust between speaker and listener: you only drop it on people who already know how you roll.
“You home yet? Yeah, I'm here.”
“Yep, he already let me know.”
